Gaussian light beams in inhomogeneous media.
نویسنده
چکیده
Vector wave solutions are obtained for the propagation of beams of light in media having slow spatial variations of the gain, loss, or index of refraction. The formalism developed here is applicable to a wide range of problems, and an exa mple considered in detail is the propagation of off-axis beams in lenslike laser materials and optical waveguides. A procedure is also described for the diagnosis of localized dielectric inhomogeneities such as plasmas by means of Gaussian laser beams.

A line scanned light-sheet microscope with phase shaped self-reconstructing beams.
We recently demonstrated that Microscopy with Self-Reconstructing Beams (MISERB) increases both image quality and penetration depth of illumination beams in strongly scattering media. Based on the concept of line scanned light-sheet microscopy, we present an add-on module to a standard inverted microscope using a scanned beam that is shaped in phase and amplitude by a spatial light modulator. W...
متن کاملOptimal Control of Light Propagation Governed by Eikonal Equation within Inhomogeneous Media Using Computational Adjoint Approach
A mathematical model is presented in the present study to control the light propagation in an inhomogeneous media. The method is based on the identification of the optimal materials distribution in the media such that the trajectories of light rays follow the desired path. The problem is formulated as a distributed parameter identification problem and it is solved by a numerical met...

متن کاملCalculation of Synthetic Seismograms with Gaussian Beams
In this paper, an overview of the calculation of synthetic seismograms using the Gaussian beam method is presented accompanied by some representative applications and new extensions of the method. Since caustics are a frequent occurrence in seismic wave propagation, modifications to ray theory are often necessary. In the Gaussian beam method, a summation of paraxial Gaussian beams is used to de...
متن کاملTaylor Expansion and Discretization Errors in Gaussian Beam Superposition
The Gaussian beam superposition method is an asymptotic method for computing high frequency wave fields in smoothly varying inhomogeneous media. In this paper we study the accuracy of the Gaussian beam superposition method and derive error estimates related to the discretization of the superposition integral and the Taylor expansion of the phase and amplitude off the center of the beam. We show...
